Fernando Achucarro is a Paraguayan artist who previously featured in one of my Indie Art videos, who since I first started talking to him, has revealed dozens upon dozens of beautifully sinister and surreal paintings that each play a role of a page in the book of his life. Each replaying an event that affected him significantly and shaped him into the person and indeed artist that he is today. Although in the original Independent Artist video, which if you haven’t seen yet please do by the way, I mentioned that Fernando has no internet presence. However I have since discovered him on Instagram and have continued to talk to him and see more of his work. The more I spoke to him, the more I learned the stories behind his paintings and how even details in the application of paint, reflect the emotional and psychological experience he goes through when creating each painting. From living a troubled past to learning to recreate it in his art, comes paintings that tend to grab you and pull you into the shadows with them.

Being a 33 year old self taught artist i sometimes have my doubts,but you have opened my eyes to Beksinski and now this man,IT CAN BE DONE, thank you very much!!
Same! I haven't started picking up a paint brush but this channel too has opened my eyes to pursue it even though I'm nearing my 30s and have a long way to go when it comes to art. It was a childhood dream that I regret not pursuing. I hope your art journey has been going well.
I am in a very “hard science” career path, and just watching how the artists display their experiences and emotion in such compelling and unique ways feels like a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work!
Bio 101 is not hard science bro…
as a dental assistant, i agree! my work is purely technical and void of creative output. art is my hobby, and i used to do a lot of it when i had more free time. the more i watch his stuff the more inspired i feel to take a stab at some paper
As an artist who deals with trauma in a multitude of artistic mediums (clothing, dolls, three dimensional pieces, paintings/sketches), this channel has been a godsend. This story really struck me, not only visually but emotionally. Fernando truly has a way with the brush or the pencil, depending on the medium. It’s astounding to me the ability and diversity to capture the most intangible emotions and dreams or even nightmares. I love this channel and I love these artists. Please never give up on this passion!
Thank you for your words
I give you a ton of credit, man, for the awesome RUclips channel AND trying to tackle Portuguese as well. That's not exactly the easiest language to learn, and I think it's super awesome that you're trying your best to really communicate with your girlfriend's family. Thanks again for a deeply interesting video. I really look forward to seeing these, as I have little time to appreciate art the way I'd like to being a full-time student and working full-time, too. So thanks very much, and good luck with the Portuguese too!
Ok
What an honor it would be, as an artist, to have our work viewed by a man who observes them in the ways that you do. Your perspective is our ultimate goal; to have our work analysized and explained in the ways that you do. Thank you for helping to voice our imagery. 💜💙
I used to work with Fernando he’s amazing and humble guy for sure. He can do some amazing art as well 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Three days in babel
Living in the shadows
I was
Lost in my travels
Leaning against the rain
Trying to wash out all the pain I keep feeling
Rubbery cold and numb
I dance on for now
Always
Playing it dumb
Twisting and turning
With My disguises already chosen
Even remembering the lies I have told them
Again and again
I am that
forsaken man that have chosen
Laid
Broken and stolden
Like blood on the ground that's been forgotten
PS
(That's what I saw
And felt
Very compelling artist
I thanks you for your great spill on him)
Stunning symmetry in his works, & brilliant use of colors for effects of light & depth perception. Thanks for sharing this artist with us all!🌹🌍
I really loved Fernando's Paradise. The lighting is incredible, it has a dream like quality about it and feels very eerie yet serene and gave me a feeling I'm having trouble articulating at the moment but I liked it.
The defaced portraits were so poignant in how it captures an abusive, scary, narcissitic significant other. An empty infantile shell in the form of an adult containing your sadistic demise.
Exactly amigo ! Thank you !
Everyone isn't a narcissist.
Fernando Achucarro, one of my favourites
never heard of this artist before! excited for a new blind dweller video.
The disfigured paints actually hitted me a lot. They really portrayed the sensation of looking back at what was your relationship with someone and suddenly seeing all the red flags, the silent allarms... and suddenly even the good memories are not so good anymore.
It is really sad but happens a lot when a relationship ends.
Thanks for your work. I followed Fernando on Instagram and love his art.
(Also English is not my first language. Sorry if I made some mistakes)
I'm sure you're better at my English than I am with your language. So thanks for sharing.
I can't believe you're able to make such rich videos on artists and art in general so consistently WHILE ALSO making all of the music. You are easily my favorite youtuber right now, cheers. Keep going
Wow. Yet again more art I've already fallen in love with here. I'll be visiting both artists' pages to appreciate them both even more I have the feeling. Thank you Blind Dweller for all you do!
Thank you Carol 🖤🖤
I absolutely loved this video. These artworks are powerful & expressed truely relatable feelings & thoughts. Thank you for your efforts & putting in the time to contact the artist & share his story
These are really rad! I love Fernando's style, especially the narrative behind his art. Very moving, very powerful. Very authentic! -- I also love that you plan to touch upon the concept of what makes something "pretentious" in art in the future. It's something that I think is harder to portray or discuss from the actual work itself, and comes up more around the discourse surrounding the work whether it be from the artist themselves or the community it was "meant" for. I think art is art and is created from a place of deep vulnerability and sometimes those emotions and feelings can only be expressed in a way that reads as trite or obnoxious when from the creator's perspective it was a very real and deep moment for them. And of course, anyone trying to create something that is not "clone art" as you said is going to be doing something different and treading new and uncharted waters, so it's tougher for a "critic" or a fan to take it at face value. I fall into the same process as well, but sometimes the first thing we think when we look at art is, "who is this person trying to emulate" or "who was this inspired by". Sometimes it's neither, sometimes it's nothing. And in that new space, I think we can sometimes mistake an attempt at recreating an influence as a failure instead of taking the time to see it with new eyes. Excited to see your take on it!! Love the channel, man. Thank you for sharing!
I just discovered this channel a few days ago.
LET ME TELL YOU, THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CHANNEL ON YOU TUBE RIGHT NOW ❤
All the content is so awesome, this is YT was made for.
Congratulations and thanks from Mexico.
Suerte con tu español y tu portugués!
Hey,
I am so happy about this canal.
Thank you for support all this amazing artist.
You know Julia Soboleva?
Her art is so special.
Maybe you like her works and make a video about her.
Nice greetings
These painting have such a great deal of emotion in them. I can see the pain of the life events through them.
Amazing work Fernando!!!!!
Whenever I watch your videos, BD, I always come away touched and edified. Thank you for bringing underground and outsider artists to our attention.
Amazing art, amazing insights and documentary! And amazing that you helped me discover another fantastic artist!
You are awesome man, your videos are the most intriguing I've found on RUclips. I really do hope the utmost success to you.
You Sir, are an absolute doll. I screamed "YES!!!" when I saw this new upload in my subscription. Thank you.
16:05 that's definitely my favorite. Not just because its done incredibly well but also because i take a lot of photos when im feeling an extreme emotion with the idea of painting them at some point. I haven't gotten to it yet but seeing that artwork makes me wanna choose one and start right away.
I have to say that your videos make me really inspired to start a new project! Ive made quite a few drawings based off of a few of the artists that you've talked about and its helped me understand myself as an artist. Thank you for making content like this
the empty canvas instantly reminded me of Fellini's 8 1/2, profound and deeply relatable for every creative voice. apart from the gut wrenching story behind the light bulb, i think it also beautifully symbolises the absence of ideas - like the complete opposite of how the bulb is used in old cartoons whenever someone has this 'eureka' moment. We just need to be patient for the electricity of a new idea to kick in and fire a light in our eyes and soul to create and make tangible that what is in our head.
i think you have an incredible mission statement and i'm excited to see what other artists are given the spotlight in the future
Love his art, he’s very talented
As a dark surrealist artist i can't begin to explain to you how excited i get to see your videos, i am so happy someone is doing in depth video essays exploring dark and outsider art. i feel like my heart and ideas have been domesticated by making art for money for many years and using mainly social media, there is soooo much pressure to conform and not be myself, and id be lying if it didnt effect my brain. Seeing these vidoes and such personal artists perspectives is really giving me creative juices to try and heal from my personal life trauma through art and not hold myself back so much. thank you for all the hard work you do putting these together-also aleksandra waliszewska is my favorite person to follow on instagram, if anyone reading this wants to check out another blind dweller video next, that artist is really amazing. THANK YOu!!!
I would love it if you did a video on Zdzislaw Beksinski, I think you would really love his work, you probably know him already. You go into so much detail and i think Beksinski would be a great artist to tackle, seeing as he never gave explanation for any of his paintings.
I want to thank you for doing this channel. I’ve always been into art but didn’t know the best way to view it, especially the scarier stuff. Your videos delve into the exact kind I’m into. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I love Giga’s and Munch’s. The dreams of Yuko Tatsushima is the stuff of nightmares but that’s what I love about it. Can’t wait to see more!
i love these videos they bring so much joy and i love finding new artist
I thought you were going to say “21 Savage”😂. This is some great art. Great project!
Love to hear the story behind paintings and art in general. I am an artist myself and I've had this feeling for a while, a feeling that my works are impersonal. I've been tormented by my own thoughts since I was a child, but I've stopped putting them on paper a few years ago. Your channel is motivating me to do that again, so I can feel connected to my art like I used to. Keep up the great videos!
Wow! Just wow! Wonderful artists the both of them!
that painting of his daughters behind the glass door really got me. it makes you feel like you’re there and it feels horrible. like guilt and fear and helplessness. it so perfectly communicates what he was going through at that time.
he also has a great grasp on pretty difficult techniques!!!
Have you seen the works of Ressendi since you have ties to the Iberian peninsula? If you haven't, He was a very dark Spanish painter with heavy influence from gypsy culture, bull fighting, and Spain's entertainment industry in general, portraying the dark behind scenes of such, which is usually believed to be full of glamour by those foreign to it.
Another really amazing video,It's really apparent how your reaching out to the artists you share with us,really forms the basis of these videos,your very real sense of connection to them and the empathy and respect you have for them and their work too. Showing a darker side to the human experience through art is realy enlightening. But it's not done in a scary way but in a very indepth and ver human and grounded way. It gives insight into the realities of living with long term mental health issues and how they impact our lives. Being able to see how artists capture their experiences of this really eye opening and also helps change the pecrceptions around mental health and people living with it's effects. It's apparent you invest a lot of time in talking to the artists and undrstanding them and they seem to really rrspond to your approach. But I think being an artist yourself it gives you a real affinity to the artists you share with us. I can really realte to the emotional intansity of Fenando's paintings,and felt a sense of recognition in some of his paintings too,and I sense this may hapen for you as you are looking into their work as you create these videos to share witth us.Living with sometimes debilitating mental health issues makes the world a very differnt place to be in for a lot of people. But as an artist myself I'm grateful to have the ability to use my creativity to address and portray thins and let them go.I wonder if in the future you would consider putting a book together of all thae art and artists you share with us,because I think it would be a really compelling and inspiring book to read and to look through exploring as you so brilliantly phrase it looking at the darker forms of expression in art. (matt) P.s good luck with learning Portuguese am sure you wil find a way to be fluent in a way that works for you.
Thank you for your inspiring speech at the end of this video. I'm about to go pick up my brush and oils.
Love your Chanel…. Very inspiring
Never got into art myself and always had a hard time connecting to it personally, but your detailed descriptions and own PoV's help me as an art kretin to at least understand some expressions the artist tries to convey.
Thank you for that effort.
Bravo! Very admirable to turn a fanship into a friendship, I believe it to be a deep goal for very many people, myself included. Great video!
Please make more content, I love your video’s they help me so much. ❤
Great video, wonderful artist. Thanks for sharing.
hey blind dweller! I love your videos, you made me grow an interest in art, i never thought i could be so much passionated about some dark paintings. That's why i want to suggest you an interesting artist to show in a future video. He's name is Cao Hui and is style in my opinion is very unique, it'll be interesting to see you analize some of his paintings
Came here after thoroughly enjoying your series on Bacon and I'm so glad! I find Fernando's paintings incredibly moving and I would love to see more. Have you / would you consider doing something on Zdzisław Beksiński?
Always look forward to your videos
Love the little nuggets of your personality and personal life in the videos
Presente Felicidades por todo el contenido que compartes
Larga vida a blind dweller
Thanks for another great video!
Your thoughts are very inspiring and insightful! ❤
Really enjoyed this one. Great choice of artist and music.
i just wanna give poor Fernando a hug
Well…? I’m here… where’s my hug 😉🙂
Great video and very interesting art. Keep learning Portuguese my friend. Good job. 🙌❤
Woahhh. It's eerily beautiful!!!
Very much so loved the video
Another cool and interesting video to the max!
I really, really like this artist!
Beautiful work
love your work thank you
42 seconds not bad for me
I love your voice is so calming
Your chanel is sooo cool 😎 keep up with the good work
It would be awesome if you were to establish a list of links to purchase work by the artists you feature. Especially or specifically maybe to the ones featured on artist corner.
Hello sir, here you can find me
Oh hey that's what you look like! What a cutie pie! ❤️
This dude is a proper amazing artist. I mean, his talent isn’t debatable it’s just that good.
Thank you
@@fachucarro1 what the fuck?!?!!? I’m shitting myself rn bro. You’ve became one of my all time favorite artists 😮
Ayyy im here early, thanks for the uploads my guy, it makes me feel cultured and gives me nightmares
Enrico Robusti would be an interesting dive. His art is so dizzying with odd perspectives and frightening characters
You do speak Portuguese with th cutest accent. I just had to comment that, since I am Brazilian and all. lol
I never expected to see someone form my country here :0
That's so weird, I was just watching another one of your videos and you read off Fernando Achucarro as a supporter right as I was looking at the thumbnail for this video lol
Some truly creepy Art…I love it!😻😻
are you partial to abstract ceramic sculptures? this theme of healing and the rawness of pain reminds me of Glen Martin Taylor's sculptures. I'd love to see what you think of his work 💛
I recently started painting during this Pandemic. I do Portraits, Nature, Abstract and Cubism. My father was Portuguese.
Great video.
Friggin greatness here
so nice
Very good
I’ll be hitting up his art work , I’m realy in to it .what. A way. To pull someone in the co,,lours are deep .
THIS is Art.
Interesting paintings.
There's nothing but pure fun going on in the Achucarro universe
🔥
In the goodbye through glass image his shadow is painted black and white instead of colour. Potentially symbolic of the lack of depth in his relationship with his children.
❤
Gostei de você falando português!
Wau👁️💜🎶
Nice video
As a brazilian, you speak portuguese pretty well
I wish I could afford to buy his paintings.
Recently started learning more about art. Particularly paintings and it's wonderful. Could you do some from Frida Kahlo. She's one of my favorites. Love how the him3an imagination is portrayed in the paintings. It's fantastic.
do a video of the death of marat and similar paintings!
I opologize for my ignorance, but who collects these dark, graphic art and where would they be displayed?
I can’t find Fernando on insta :( someone plz help
Hi can you please provide links to all the art discussed in this video plzzzzz
There you go my friend, you can find me here
Thank you
Many many years I been painting I still can't haven't found anything so frustrating, sometimes it seems to come easy for a artist Not for me though,
Do Otto Dix please
I feel like the 21 pilots analogy is like comparing Eeyore to Kurt Cobain.
I liked what you said about art only meaning something to you when it comes from an honest place, but i struggle to think of art that comes from a “dishonest” place. What would this be like? “Pretentious art” maybe?
I struggle with this. people always say that art becomes real if it has meaning....but I only like to draw things that I like...pretty things, or at least it's pretty for me...so is my art not art because there's no meaning to it?
@@zyrahanne2103 Id say it has meaning because you like it. Ig art with no meaning would be art solely made to make a profit? Cuz that way there's no emotion in it at all, no "this is pretty" or "i want to draw this", just a product
@@_Lyricris_ thanks for this...now my heart can be at ease..
@@zyrahanne2103 I use art in a very therapeutic way. It's not that I am actually trying to express what I'm feeling, but the action of journey of creating a piece of work, the hyper focus of dealing with the task in front of me, problem-solving through trial and error to get the effect that I want. The final piece is just that. The final step is a physical piece that is made up of the journey to get to it.
And, in reality, sometimes when you're sad, depressed, angry or anxious, you just want a break from all the negative and create something "pretty" or "cute" or wholesome.
Can you checkout Olivier de Sagazan? His art is amazing and horrifying it’s great.
I use Acrylic paint.
